## Definition[edit | edit source]

* In the context of this wiki, this entry refers to lecturing in higher education (1 teacher plus many students).

Lecturing is not just content delivery:

*     * The lecture has to preparred according some simple or more complicated instructional design method, e.g. backwards design. This includes activities outside the lecture hall (homework, labs, ..)
* There are different appropriate instructional design models such as direct instruction and nine events of instruction.

We also should make a distinction between lecturing as "telling" (i.e. as pedagogic method of presentation) to be combined with other methods and lecturing as global pedagogic strategy and that includes exhibits, demonstrations, question/response interactions, small student activities, etc.
